Caused tablet to go into 'headphone mode'!
The old adage 'buy it cheap buy it twice' I think applies here. I bought these (a brand I hadn't purchased before), because whilst they were 'cheap' they had 11000+ reviews, so I didn't think all of those would be 1 or 2 star (they weren't) so I thought I would try them. Never again!One has 'burnt out' within a month (pointless sending back for around £5) so I am now on the second.The reason for the low stars (if that isn't reason enough), is because they did something 'odd' to my Ipad. I have a iPad Mini 5 so no headphone jack, however when I charged up with this lead several times once charged it has 'bizarrely' left my iPad into 'headphone' mode, which as I say I found 'strange' as they were no headphones. I then went to google and after hours spent searching, a 'reddit' poster, suggested putting in an original cable so I did, it worked. I am completely 'baffled'. I have iPad for years, I have gone through countless leads from a variety of brands, but this is the first time anything like this has happened. I can only surmise that (given by the other reviews), that for whatever reason I was 'unlucky'!

Excellent quality & length of cord extremely useful .
Brilliant product . Extra long length corded wire that really helps in a busy house hold where your having to share the extension! Two pack certainly helps as I have one in the house & the other in the car just in case you need it or pack it in your bag to charge on the bus on the way to school / work etc . Would highly recommend & repurchase !

Brilliant charging lead
Fantastic charging lead at a great price. It is very sturdy and long. The plug that goes in the phone is flexible so will last longer than Apple ones that tend to split near that plug. Cant fault it at all and would highly recommend - will be buying these in future when I need to replace Apple ones!

Connector quality questionable.
Father in law always seemed to break his cables where the strain relief ended. So this flexible strain relief seemed ideal. 4 months later he said it stopped working. Looking at it closer the lightning connector wouldn’t stay in or charge. The bit on the connector that holds it in place had broken off in the power port of his old iPad. Managed to remove it by using watch screwdriver to bend the sides so it would come out. Something I really don’t recommend because of the damage you could do if you get it wrong. But his iPad is old so worth a try. I also got another pair last month and the cable seems to be a lot thinner on those. For the price I guess you get what you pay for.

Safe & sturdy USB charging cable.
Love the design of this cable inc' the colour white. 2 cables in the package at an exceptional price. I safely leave my phone on charge without the worry of it overheating as the cable switches off when charging is complete therefore no risk of a fire. Thank you for a fast response with my order. I can certainly recommend this company and the product.

Good quality and "Power charges" my Samsung M30s at 15w
Why oh why do phone manufacturers think we live within 50cm of an electrical outlet for charging? Every time someone buys something you always end up having to buy a longer charge lead. So this one is good, 2 for the price of one! Since this is my ONLY USB-C device I have to lug around yet an extra charger but at least I can have it plugged in and the phone next to me when in hotels etc.

Cheap and not the best
A pack of two . Should have known better at the price ..one lead stopped working after a week .. the next lead actually made my iPad go freaky ! I was using the iPad while on charge with the last of the leads . When I couldn’t control my typing at first , it was very strange with letters appearing on screen that I wasn’t touching ! Then an app I was using would lag for at least 5 seconds before it caught up .. Going into my setting to try and sort it out was uncontrollable, with sections opening that I hadn’t touched .. It was then I unplugged the lead and the iPad immediately went back to normal !So it’s a definite no from me ..

Support small business, specially with great product
I have Huawei Mate 20 pro with 40 watt charger with 5amp USB 3.1 Type C cable. That's one of the fastest charger and cable for the flagships of the same time. Still beats many flagships.Problem with the stock cable is, it's small and has rubber coating. Which is definitely not sturdy for regular use. It is 1 meter in length, which stops from the opportunity of using the phone comfortably while charging as well.I looked up for the longer cable and found this one at best price. I know the trade off with longer cable is less charging speed. And that's true for this cable as well.People with 18watt and 21 or even 30 watt chargers will not feel this, but with Huawei 40 watt charger it's noticeable.Peak ampere rating for this cable came at 2800 mA against 3100mA of stock cable.Max was 2950 mA against 4250 mA of stock cable.Data transfer rates were similar as I have only USB 3.0 port on my laptop and I didn't see any difference in the same.Build of the cable is a plus point and I give it 5* on this.For users having 30 watt chargers with 2.4 to 3 amp cables will not feel much difference.For instant charging, I will not recommend it.For rest/active charge it's perfect.
